TC Electronic Pipeline Tap Tremolo Demo & Review

[@gdt76]

Great review, and I love seeing the Aries in action too! Thanks!

[@TMillsMusic]

Awesome review, great pedal too!

[@emilianoibarra3537]

can this one also be used as a stereo panning pedal? like the boss pn2

[@FrankFleckenstein]

I believe it won't be able to do that :-(

[@axeljuengst2522]

Very nice vid, Frank! Started salivating again over your Aries guitar... Have you seen my purple arctic, yet..?

[@FrankFleckenstein]

Hahaha, yeah I really like this guitar. I've seen your beautiful new axe! Incredible!!! How do you like the AS bridge?

[@axeljuengst2522]

Thank you!! I like the AS system very much. Sounds very cool on its own, but also blended with f.i. the neck pickup! When´s your record ready, or did I miss something..?

[@FrankFleckenstein]

Awesome! Yeah, I really dig the blended sounds you can get with the magnetic pickups. You didn't miss anything...all the work, moving and traveling really set me back with the record. I also wasn't happy with some of the sounds, so I will need to re-record some of that stuff. I went back to almost fully analogue... ;)

I came for the Pipeline I stayed for the Kiesel

Top de mais vale a pena.

The idea of switching to the tap tempo mode is extremely stupid. It is like Boss DD6. The big fail.

[@FrankFleckenstein]

Seems like you have a lot of insight into the market to make such a statement.

[@Arni142]

That is my opinion about the pedal and a bit about something you like, (apparently). But I don't criticize your choice. Just a small feature of the product. Even you failed on tapping the tempo. That kind of feature needs to be easy to use on a stage. Answering your question: I have seen a bit. BTW: Boss added the external tap tempo input to DD7.

[@FrankFleckenstein]

I respect your opinion. That being said, my response wasn’t meant to be harsh or something. I agree, a feature like this needs to be easy to access and failsafe. The TC Flashback 2 has an external tap tempo jack for that. Might have been a good option for the trem as well.

I don't see it as such a big problem, the song starts maybe guitar isn't playing yet and before you start playing you just tap the tempo along with what the band is playing or if you start playing first then you just tap the tempo before the song starts. Sure it takes time to get used to it and learn how to use it, but it's not a big deal imo.

[@endriu55]

or if you want to introduce the tremolo in the middle of the song and you don't have it set to the tempo, you can set the depth to minimum (with you foot while playing, these knobs are easy to fondle with you feet) then tap the tempo and gradually increase the depth
